Moths?

[brodypaul]

Okay, I got my first baby veiled about 3 months ago. I've been feeding her crickets and superworms, and she is growing like a weed. The last few nights, however, I've been catching moths for her, and she gobbles them up. Are there any health concerns I should be worried about regarding moths? I've researched, but I can't find any info on the topic. Please help?

Moths are fine as an enrichment feeder, assuming where you catch them is unlikely that the moths would have a pesticide or such on them. They can be a bit fatty, and are not gutloaded, so the nutritional value isnt fabulous. But they do love them, so a few now and then with her other feeders is fine.

if no moths around

if no moths around u could buy some wax worms and leave them for a while and they will turn into moths...

Oh awsome! Sorry to "jack" your thread but i'll have to try the wax worm thing. I'd love to watch my Cham gobble up a flying bug. Are the moths too big for my 3 and a half month old?
